BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The field of endeavor for the Caddy Adapter is for pools, lakes, rivers& boating recreational fields. It would be classified in GROUP III. 206Special Receptacle of the U.S. Patent Classification Definitions.

The defined problem: Maneuverability when floating on a poolnoodle/water log in the water, while holding a beverage in one hand andtrying to maneuver with the other hand. There is currently no adapteravailable on the market to join together a pool noodle/water log and abeverage container.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Caddy Adapter solves the problem of holding a beverage in one handand trying to maneuver in the water with the other hand, when floatingon a pool noodle/water log. This adapter holds insulated beveragecontainers so both hands are free to swim and maneuver about. I solvedthis problem while floating on pool noodles/water logs over the summerof “2010” at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.
